It was the same as last time!
Almost in anger, Hua Lifang left the room while Ling Yiran sat down by the bed with an apple and a paring knife. She began to peel an apple for Gu Lichen.
"Did you run into your former colleague downstairs?" Gu Lichen asked casually.
"Yeah, you've seen him before. It's Guo Xinli. You met him when I had that incident at the film studio," said Ling Yiran. She answered Gu Lichen casually without being defensive.
'Guo Xinli...' Gu Lichen's eyes glimmered. He still remembered that she had gone missing that time. Guo Xinli's face had looked so anxious. That kind of care and concern... He could see that Guo Xinli was probably interested in her.
"Yes, he was worried about you," Gu Lichen said lightly.
"He's a nice man." A faint smile appeared on the corners of Ling Yiran's lips. She remembered that Guo Xinli came to the hospital today to bring those Transformers toys to Lil Yan. She did not expect Guo Xinli to keep such vintage toys so well.
Although new versions of Transformers toys were released all the time, Guo Xinli's vintage Transformers were not necessarily available even if you had the money. Lil Yan must be delighted to see them.
Guo Xinli was so considerate!
"Nice man?" Gu Lichen raised his eyebrows a little. A sour feeling slowly spread in his heart. 'Is she smiling because of Guo Xinli?'
Ling Yiran said, "Yeah, he's nice. He's honest, kind, and doesn't judge people. It's nice to be friends with someone like him. People like him are rare these days."
One could say that she admired Guo Xinli's qualities. Even though she did not love this man, she still wished him a good life.
"What's a pity?" asked Gu Lichen.
"Nothing." She shook her head and lowered her eyes gently. 'It's a pity Guo Xinli seems to have misplaced his feelings on me, but... maybe Guo Xinli has let it go.'
Ling Yiran got up to put the fruit knife back on the table. As she got up, the Bumblebee she was carrying in her pocket fell out and landed on Gu Lichen's hospital bed.
She reached for it, but Gu Lichen grabbed it first. "This is..."
"The Transformer toy from a long time ago. Guo Xinli gave me one as a souvenir when I met him today," she said, taking the Bumblebee from his hand and resting her eyes gently on it.
